Can i have first refusal on the shell and roll bar setup.
Work of art. Loving all the little touches and lovely fabrication.
What are your plans for it Colin? Would make an interesting rally car.
It is a beautifully thought our car. At this stage I have no specific plans, it's all dependent on what I decide to do with my Escort Cosworth race car.Quote:

I'd like to do a hillclimb or sprint in the Nova just to see what it can do. No point doing a track day with it as the fuel tank holds less than a gallon!
Now there's a well thought out Nova! As soon as I saw your pics Colin I remembered seeing images of it way back when.
Awesome machine! It's a lot easier to appreciate the finer aspects of the engineering and fabrication than it was when I was a bit younger lol.
thats some work of art there goes to show there is some very clever people out there. also i cant believe how low the engine is sittitng in the bay, very cool car! awesome!
Hi Colin
Very nice purchase. Have you any pics of what angle's the shafts are at due to the engine sitting lower.
Its been built to race, not to be set on fire and lavished with money for no reasonQuote:

Whereas on a standard Nova the driveshafts have to go uphill from the gearbox to the uprights, on this one their journey is downhill!
